If a solid of the same density as that of a liquid is placed in it, what will happen to the solid?

Open in App

Solution

When a solid of equal density is immersed in a liquid of equal density, the object will partially submerge or float.
If the density of the liquid exceeds that of the solid, the solids will float on the surface.
This is in accordance with the law of flotation.
